Retreat Facilities

North Lodge

The North Lodge at Camp Swatara is considered by many to be our "Camp Hotel." This facility has 10 bedrooms that each sleep up to 5 people (double bed, queen bed, and one bunk over the double), private bathrooms in each room, a first floor lounge, and a second floor conference room. There is a small kitchen for snacks, but groups are not permitted to do meal cooking in this facility. Groups must do a food service package.

It provides a natural, relaxed, and prayerful atmosphere for retreats, seminars, meetings, leadership training's, and more, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.The North Lodge is available for retreats during the fall, winter, and spring months (Sept. 1-May 31). During the summer months it serves as Camp Swatara's infirmary for the resident camping program.

If you prefer a more rustic setting, a variety of cabins are available in the West Area. Currently the West Area is home to 4 winterized double cabins (up to 18 people) 1 winterized single cabin (up to 8 people) and 2 non-winterized cabins. All cabins provide bunk bed style sleeping. The 4 large winterized cabins are equipped with bathrooms and showers, are handicapped accessible, and are available in the winter, spring, and fall.
